I was given my first set of baseball cards when my family attended a game during my hometown AA baseball team's (Altoona Curve) inaugural season in 1999. I would have been almost 4 years old then. My love for baseball accompanied by receiving those pieces of paper containing images of the professional players I admired is where the addiction began. As I continued to receive cards as gifts and traditionally purchased the Curve's team set at the ballpark every season, it became evident I was becoming a collector. When I began getting autographs and trading cards with my cousin and classmates, there was no turning back.

I primarily collect baseball and football, but also like to collect the Washington Capitals and Michael Jordan. I consider what I have listed below as primary targets though.

• Pittsburgh Pirates
• Ichiro
• Barry Bonds
• Pittsburgh Steelers
• Michael Jordan
• Washington Capitals
• Alexander Ovechkin
• Nicklas Backstrom
• Pitt Panther Graduates
